Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Accusing her despite the betrayal

"And just what do you think you are doing, Alpha Sokolov?" Dominic’s voice was laced with annoyance when he saw Killian step in between him and Inez. Even his wolf growled at the audacity of the lycan, who was trying to interfere in a matter that didn’t belong to him or had nothing to do with him.

Killian had the good grace to look politely troubled. He raised his hands in mock surrender and said to Dominic, "I do not mean any disrespect." He spoke in a tone that clearly showed how little he thought of Dominic and his threats. "But I believe that the young woman doesn’t want to go or stay with you, Alpha Cherith. Since that’s the case, why don’t you respect her wishes?"

Inez was glad that he was trying to talk some sense into Dominic. Just now, what he did to her in that office, shook her up. The Dominic she knew would never do something so low, such as forcing one of his wolves to submit to him forcefully.

However, the man clearly was not the one with whom she had grown up. He was bitter and resentful about something and Inez had no idea what it was. But she was done asking.

If he wanted to blame her for murdering his pet dog, then go ahead and be done with it. She would rather be executed than suffer through another round of humiliation.

"This is between me and my wolf." Dominic growled as he shot a threatening glare at Inez, asking her to step past Killian and come stand next to him.

Like she was an idiot.

"Indeed," Killian’s voice was calm without any signs of anger. Even though Dominic was almost into his face, the lycan didn’t show any signs of clasping Dominic by his throat and shaking him by his neck, which made Inez wonder if the rumours about Killian were even true. "However, you have to understand that Miss Sinclair is not only one of your wolves; she is also an individual who has her own thoughts and actions."

"You cannot subject her to forceful subjection, can you? I don’t think, as her alpha, you are allowed to do that." There was pure taunt in his voice, which made Dominic wonder if this man had heard Inez refute him just now.

"I never—"

"Don’t do this." Just as Dominic was about to flare up at Killian, Luca rushed over. He clasped hold of Dominic’s arm and pulled him back. "Don’t forget that we have an important alliance signed with him; do you really want to offend him because of Inez?"

Tao and Blake came running after Luca.

Clearly, they had sensed Dominic’s anger through the pack bond and knew that the situation was not good. To avoid the situation from escalating, they dropped their jobs at hand and rushed back to the office.

They knew that with Inez’s temper, Dominic was bound to lose his mind but they never expected that Killian would join the fray.

He hated her. That was true. But Dominic also understood the importance of a shifter’s wolf to them; a shifter losing their wolf was similar to losing their limbs.

"What? Are you filled with delight?" Inez asked with a mocking curl of her lips. "Are you trying to make sure that my wolf is gone? Can’t you sense it already?"

Now that she had become latent, her wolf had receded within her. She was no longer responsive and as long as Dominic searched through the pack bond, he would soon realise that even though the bond was intact, there was a wolf who wasn’t responsive to him.

Indeed, just as Inez expected, Dominic did search through the pack bond but he never received any response from Inez’s wolf despite using his authority as his alpha.

His gaze cut to Inez’s. When he saw her smiling humourlessly, Dominic couldn’t help but say, "It’s because of what you have done, Inez. If you want to blame anyone, then you can only blame yourself. This is what you deserve."

He spoke as if it justified his actions of sleeping with another woman and stepping on her and her wolf’s pride.
